Are you sure that you wanna know? Do you REALLY wanna find out if your little computer can HANDLE a big, thick game like Baldur’s Gate 3? It would be so embarrassing if Baldur’s Gate 3 was just too much for your tiny PC … like are you sure that your PC has even done this before? Is this your PC’s first time … playing a game? Maybe you should start with something easier … those games that well-behaved computers play … like solitaire.

No? You wanna see if your computer can TAKE IT? You wanna know if all of those sexy adventurers just BEGGING to be your companion can make it work?

Okay … you asked for it.

Take a look under the hood at these steamy tech specs
